Now, building on the lifting of the ban on women driving, the Kingdom has announced that it will allow women to operate other vehicles including trucks and motorcycles.

Set to come into effect next year, the new law will see women treated equally on the roads, however any violations will be addressed by a special police unit.

According to The National, "new details also made references to how GCC-issued licenses could be swapped for Saudi Arabian driving permits, however, the details on whether that applies to expatriate women is still unknown."
